Site Environmental Considerations

With a little environmental planning up front, you can help avoid equipment failures and
reduce the possibility of environmentally-related network shutdowns. You should plan the site
configuration and prepare the customer's site before installation. The location of your wiring
room is an extremely important consideration for proper operation of your Linksys One
network. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible
panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. Plan for
access to both front and rear panels of the router.
Air Circulation
On the Services Router, air flows in to the cooling intake vents on the left side of the chassis
and is exhausted out the right side vents via the fans. To ensure there is adequate air flow,
allow at least 3 inches (75 mm) of unobstructed space on all sides of the Services Router, as
shown below.
